The Cash Game Challenge at The Festival in Rozvadov begins today, with the first two of ten sessions scheduled. The first of today’s sessions begins at 8pm and will be €5/5 No Limit Hold’Em with a minimum buy-in of €500. It will last for exactly two hours and will be followed by a session of €5/€5 Pot Limit Omaha, also with a €500 Buy-In.
Players who wish to play can add their name to the list at the cash game registration desk.
Both of today’s sessions will be live streamed on The Festival’s Twitch Channel. The game will be broadcast on a 30-minute delay. Tune in from 6.30pm CET.
The way the challenge works is very simple, the winner of the leader board will be the one who makes the most net profit, in terms of Big Blinds. This levels the playing field, as there is no premium for playing higher stakes, enabling all participants an equal chance. The player who wins the most Big Blinds within one session, wins the Challenge! Players are however not restricted to playing just one session. Scores will be updated after each session and the top players scores will be displayed for all to see who’s winning.
Prizes of course! But there’s nothing for second place in this challenge, its a winner takes all prize package valued at €1,600 for a trip to The Festival of Malta in September. The package includes a seta into the €550 Main Event at Portomaso Casino in St Julians. Six nights hotel accommodation, a hospitality package and a special edition The Festival cap.
